It took them longer than normal but they did it. No matter what path they took, the moment arrived for them on Friday, June 20, 2014 when they were handed their diploma signifying success, and everyone that attended the ADSB Adult & Continuing Education Graduation was so very proud of them.
Friends and family of the 26 graduates cheered and hollered and at times shed tears of pride and love for them. Paul Curtis, valedictorian, told of the long road he took to get there and how proud he was for returning to the education system to get his diploma and also encouraged others to do the same.
